About Dumfries and Galloway

The south of Scotland is a brilliant place with low rolling hills and sweeping tarmac roads. However, the long drive down is a prime hunting ground for traffic police.

Dumfries or Queen of the South as this former royal burgh is known to many as, is surrounded by stunning greenery and eye-catching scenery. Full of wildlife and varying terrain, it can put drivers to the test driving through this beautiful part of the country. With about 750,000 vehicles moving through this area as a result of the ferry crossing, this adds another risk factor into the equation.

Every year over 15,000 people are charged with motoring offences in or around Dumfries. Many choose not to fight their case and become another motoring statistic. Others choose to fight their case with Dominic Sellar.
